This binding is engineered to be “read only”. It simply pulls data from the Unifi Controller on a predefined period.
It does not modify the settings of the Unifi Controller software.
You could also create a new User with Read Only role on the Unifi Controller software to be used for this binding to connect and pull info.
Hi guys I was hoping you could shorten my research time a little. I have been messing with OH for a week or so on and off and running it locally on my PC. I wanted to see if I was capable of using it before I ordered the equipment. I installed the unifi binding and have everything working but the APs aren’t showing any status updates on the control page. I’ve added things that were in the default binding, I’ll have a look at the config file I just used what was on the forum. Is there something I should be looking at in the config file to rectify this? I am planning on going through the thread tomorrow but thought I may save a little time asking here.
Thanks for any input this community is pretty good and I am enjoying the learning experience with OH2.
I think @mgbowman has been tied up in other parts of his life unrelated to him contributing his spare time developing this binding. It happens to all of us from time to time.
@mgbowman - I just wanted to say thank you for creating this - I know we never create these for the thanks but it’s always great to get a nod when some work you do is being used and appreciated!
Hey all! I’m really glad you guys find this binding useful.
As @mhilbush said, I’m super busy with the construction of my house. The electrical (read: automation) stages have been stressful to say the least. I know there’s been some requests for new features but I simply don’t have the time right now. Things will start to settle down in a few weeks and I’ll be able to at least push this into OH2 master so that if others want to contribute they can.
This feature along with support for enabling / disabling PoE ports on UniFi switches are required for me to realize my home automation plans. One way or another, both of these features will make it into the binding
Hey guys, per @Kai’s request I switched the JSON implementation from Jackson to GSON. I forked a new branch for this so we can test it before I push it into the pull request.
Can you guys test this build and report if it works or not? Please let me know either way.
